I wanted to make a film that was sophisticated and emotional, but for a wider audience.

There were no previews; we made the film we wanted to make.

I have an adult emotional life and an editing system inside me which prevents me from being preposterously stupid.

There's no attempt to manipulate the audience. We made our choice at the start.

I wanted the collection for Target to reinterpret all the must-haves of Stella McCartney for winter and to make my designs more accessible to a wider audience in Australia.

A film with an untidy plot cannot grip the audience and define their emotional response.
